News and Updates

The newly redesigned SLO Stewards newsletter is hot off the press! ECOSLO worked with the City of San Luis Obispo and Gaia Graphics to develop the new design that is full color. This issue highlights Froom Ranch, the new docents, mountain lions, and a new trail at Irish Hills Open Space. See the full issue here!

Due to a high chance of rain this Saturday, ECOSLO is cancelling our scheduled clean up for Lopez Lake. We will work on rescheduling the event.

From Mothers for Peace:
There are 866 storage tanks at Fukushima Daiichi, each holding 1000 TONS of highly radioactive water, which has been used to cool the reactor cores. This makes a total of 866,000 TONS of water, with 350 tons added every day. In addition, there are 13,400 tons of highly contaminated water in Reactor 1, 15,800 tons in Reactor 2, 16,900 tons in Reactor 3 and no more fuel but 14,500 tons of water in Reactor 4, a total of 60,600 tons! The Japan NRA wants all this water to be discharged into the Pacific, as the site is running out of space to build more tanks.Please forward this message to other who might be interested in taking action.
